    lol@this thread...you also have to keep in mind that fighters look ALOT more chiseled and cut during their weigh in than fight night in the ring...your comparing weigh in pictures to paq standing in a ring...also much less weight on.

    Cmon man you have to be smarter than this.

    and btw...im a ex-professional bodybuilder...im 28 years old right now and in the best shape of my LIFE...and i'd go as far as saying i've worked harder when i was around 23-24 years old and i look better now...lifting the same exact way but eating better..makes a huge difference.

    Everybody peaks different man.

    He didn't have to drastically cut weigh for his fight against Oscar, because he came in at 142 pounds and Oscar at 147.

    He had to cut weight against Cotto to meet the 145 pound limit. Therefore it makes sense that he rehydrated more after his fight with Cotto.

    That doesn't matter , when pac weighed 126 at the weigh in that was his true body muscle mass, after rehydrating that is all Fluids and eating ..

    if you compare his scale weights he has gained 20 Lb of muscle .

    Remember we are talking lean body mass, not after weigh in weight ..

    Where's the evidence he had to cut weight to make the 145lb limit, then? Well, of course he had to cut weight, but what makes you think he had to cut more than the Oscar fight? For your information, he made 144 against Cotto. If he had to cut a lot of weight, they would of made the fight at 147 so he didn't have to cut as much.

    If Pac wanted to he could possibly still cut down to about 135. Against Hatton he weighed in at 138 and he had a full meal on the weigh-in day, something that he wasn't able to do when he was fighting Barrera and MArquez at 130.

    Was 120 at 17 years old. I am now 147 - 149. Probably heavier if my workout is better (drop a little fat, gain a bit more muscle).

    Nothing special with the weight if you ask me.

    But the way he walked through bigger guys, it's special.

    The evidence is in the fact that Pacquiao came in 142 pounds, that is, 5 pounds below the weight limit of 147 against de la Hoya.
    do you think his team told him to cut an extra 5 pounds just for the hell of it?
    Or maybe just maybe do you think he was struggling to put on muscle mass for the De la Hoya fight, yet had no problems doing so against Cotto.

    That isn't the point at all. What you don't understand is that he didn't walk around at 126 for 126 fights. He walked around at around about the same weight he does now, maybe 5 or 6lbs south. That's why he rehydrated to the 140's for featherweight fights.

    He's undoubtedly added a bit of muscle, but 20lbs? :lol: In order to add 20lbs of muscle, he would of had to have been walking around at 124 and then added the 20lbs to get to the 144lbs that is his career highest weight so far.

    Funny, considering he weighed more than 124 for weight-ins, and went up to light-welterweight/welterweight type weighs for those featherweight/super-featherweight fights.

    He's not added 20lbs of muscle. He's simply not cutting as much water weight. I hear the same thing all the time with Roy Jones Jr and how apparently the 18lbs he put on betweeen the Tarver and Ruiz fights was pure muscle and it's ridiculous. It wasn't. The majority of it was water-weight that remained and wasn't cut.

    Hence it's the same with Pacquiao, and hence why he's weighing in only a few lbs more on fight night nowadays than he was at super-featherweight. So where is this '20lbs of pure muscle' coming from?

    :good EXACTLY!! Hey Luke the first title Floyd won was the 130 one! Since he has also won the 154 title, maybe all the idiots are looking at the wrong guy!!!:lol:
